Shelby, North Carolina is a beautiful community in a beautiful part of our state. When navigating Shelby, many opt to ride a bicycle instead of driving a car or other motor vehicle.
The benefits of doing so have been well documented. Riding a bicycle is a more healthful decision than driving. It is also better for the environment.
However, cars and other such enclosed motor vehicles do offer some advantages. Specifically, when the drivers and occupants of such vehicles are involved in accidents, they enjoy a certain degree of protection from harm thanks to the metal frame of the vehicle. Features such as seatbelts and airbags also guard against harm.
Bicycles don’t offer this protection. If you have been injured in a Shelby, NC bicycle accident, your injuries are likely severe. You may now be facing such losses as medical bills, lost wages, and even non economic losses, such as pain and suffering.
Do you suspect your accident would not have occurred had someone else not been careless or negligent? If so, contact a Shelby, NC bicycle accident attorney at Brown Moore & Associates, PLLC today. Our team will review your case and determine if you have grounds to seek compensation for your losses by filing a claim or lawsuit.
